NOTES:
1. Sepam™ relays have two modes of setting:
12.5
The default method shown here, uses curves that are 5
referenced at ten times the current setting (Is)[10 Per 2.5
Unit]. 1
The alternate method is by TMS, which is similar to an 1.2
electromechanical time dial setting method. Curves 0.8
reflecting the TMS method are on a separate form.
0.4
2. The following minimum operate thresholds (I / Is) apply:
SIT, VIT, LTI, EIT, UIT @ I / Is=1.2 0.1 0.2
RI, IAC-SIT, IAC-VIT, IAC-EIT @ I / Is=1.0 0.1
SIT-A, VIT-B, LTI-B, EIT-C, IEEE MI, IEEE VI, IEEE EI
@ I/ Is=1.1
3. When the monitored value is more than 20 times the
set point, the tripping time is limited to the value 0.01
corresponding to 20 times the set point.
1 10 100
4. if the monitored value exceeds the measurement
capacity of Sepam™ (40 IN for the phase current Current I / Is
channels, 20 INr for the residual current channels), the
tripping time is limited to the value corresponding to the
largest measurable value (40 IN or 20 INr).
